Notice of Proposed Changes In FERC

Gas Tariff

July 7, 1998.

Take notice that on July 1, 1998, East

Tennessee Natural Gas Company (East

Tennessee), tendered for filing as part of

its FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised

Volume No. 1, the following revised

tariff sheets, with an effective date of

August 1, 1998:

Second Revised Sheet No. 9

First Revised Sheet No. 41

First Revised Sheet No. 181

First Revised Sheet No. 199

East Tennessee states that the purpose

of the filing is to provide more detail

and specificity in East Tennessee’s tariff

and East Tennessee’s pro forma service

agreements regarding the types of

discounts that may be granted by East

Tennessee. East Tennessee states that by

including this information in its tariff,

East Tennessee hopes to reduce any

need for filing individual discount

agreements as ‘‘material deviations.’’

East Tennessee proposes to revise two

of its rate schedules and the related pro

forma service agreements, so as to more

clearly reflect the types of discounts that

may be given by East Tennessee. First,

East Tennessee proposes to revise

Section 4.1 of Rate Schedule FT–A and

Section 6.1 of the pro forma

transportation agreement to reflect all of

the following types of discounts for FT–

A service: (a) point-specific; (b) volumespecific; (c) discounts based on a

variable reservation/commodity charge

allocation; and (d) authorized overrun.

In addition, to address the release of

discounted volumes, East Tennessee

proposes to add the following sentence

to Section 4.1 and Section 6.1: ‘‘In the

event Shipper releases capacity at a rate

which is higher than Shipper’s

discounted rate, such difference may be

shared in the manner agreed to by

Transporter and Shipper.’’ Second, East

Tennessee proposes to revise Sections

4.1 of Rate Schedule IT and Section 6.1

of the IT pro forma transportation

agreement to provide for point-specific

and volume-specific discounts.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest this filing should file a motion

to intervene or a protest with the
